Michele Bachmann is no stranger to lying or dodging questions in order to get her way – especially when “her way” means securing the votes of the less-informed. As is common with her party’s rhetoric, presenting all the facts is bad for campaign season.

The eye-catching shot of the Republican Congresswoman is raising eyebrows across the web. And while critics are not only ignoring the publication’s context while labeling Bachmann as some helpless victim of media bias, they are also negating to criticize their own hypocrisy.

According to the former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R), the Republican Party is simply too “unrealistic” in its expectations of what the role of president should undertake. So why does this not apply to Obama?

The radicalization of Obama’s proposed policies leverages a sense of fear and distrust reminiscent of the nation’s notorious “Red Scare” or Salem witch-hunts; sentiments that will undoubtedly create an even more brainwashed herd of anti-progressives to curb forward-thinking legislation for the foreseeable future.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is willing to flip-flop on the universally-Right-wing stance on federal government intervention over states’ rights as well as private lives when it comes to fending off the infamous “gay agenda.”

According to Glenn Beck – the self-proclaimed prophet of American freedom – the youth group targeted by alleged terrorist Anders Behring Breivik was kind of like a gathering of the “Hitler Youth…or whatever.”

A white, non-Muslim madman slaughters scores of innocents in the name of his extremist political agenda spurred by erroneous anti-labor and anti-Muslim propaganda. That’s bad PR for the Tea Party types and Glenn Beck crowds here in the U.S. who support those very ideals yet claim that true extremist terrorism simply does not exist within their ranks.

Fox News contributor Monica Crowley and host Bill O’Reilly think that rampant American secularism – pushed forth by a so-called liberal, Democratic agenda – is the root cause of cheating in schools and the ethical decline of American culture.

The Tea Party’s endorsement of anti-gay candidates and consistent stream of anti-gay rhetoric starkly contradict its claims for the pursuit of American freedoms – advocating against what it considers to be morally “bad behavior” that have little to nothing to do with taxes or government but are vilified simply because of social and religious prejudices.

Invoking the ever-popular-among-Tea-Partiers’ calls of “socialism” and “big government”, Romney is now trying his hand at base-pandering by wrongfully claiming that the Obama administration’s apparent support for optional national academic standards is yet another fine example of the president’s Marxist ambitions.
